Overview
Table controller is an open-source printed circuit board by hmcty, from the hmcty/microwave repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board with 8 parts on 61 nets.
It is built around the IRLZ44N and RJ45. Its parts include 4 resistors, 2 ICs, 1 transistor and 1 connector. It belongs with the NXP (LPC, Kinetis, i.MX RT) boards of this library.

All software and hardware for running the microwave food simulator.
Microwave food simulator is a decommissioned LG microwave. It's been paired with a custom human-sized turntable, and a LINAK height-adjustable desk.

Install the target once:
rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihfFlashing firmware
flash.sh builds a firmware app, converts it to a .hex, and loads it onto its
Teensy. The supported apps are table-controller (Teensy 4.0) and
display-controller (Teensy 4.1).
One-time setup:
cargo install cargo-binutils # provides `cargo objcopy`
rustup component add llvm-toolsYou also need teensy_loader_cli installed.
To build, convert, and flash:
./flash.sh table-controllerBefore flashing, the script asks the running firmware to drop into the
bootloader over USB (via mw-cli), so no program-button press is needed.
Flags:
-s: build only, skipping the.hexconversion and flashing.-n: skip the auto-reboot into the bootloader. Use it for first-time setup, when no firmware is running yet to receive the command — press the Teensy's program button instead.

Questions
What parts does the Table controller use?
8 parts, built around the IRLZ44N and RJ45. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Table controller KiCad files?
From the hmcty/microwave repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/table_controller/table_controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/display_controller/display_controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Table controller design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hmcty before reusing the design.
